Description
Meanwhile, back in Far West, Emma Smith and the other family members of the imprisoned find themselves facing persecution from anti-Mormon mobs, which seek to kill Joseph, destroy the Smith home, and force the other Saints out of Missouri.
As Caleb endures the hardships of prison and Emma struggles to uproot her life, the two become firsthand witnesses to the faith of the Prophet Joseph from within this “prison-temple.” From the depths of confinement, Joseph grapples with the difficult conditions and the weight of his prophetic mantle, his desperate yearning to hear God’s voice and receive divine revelation ultimately culminating in what is now known as sections 121–123 of the Doctrine and Covenants.
With Dean Hughes’s characteristic blend of historical accuracy and compelling characters, Liberty explores the lives and faith of Emma and Joseph Smith, Caleb Baldwin, and the other men imprisoned in Liberty Jail during this tumultuous period in Latter-day Saint history.
